lín xuān liǎn sèyīn mái yǐ jí ， bù guò píng xīn lái ， jiǎ rú shuāng fāng yì dì ér chǔ ， zì jǐ yě huì zuò chū tóng yàng de xuǎn zé 。
林轩脸sèyīn霾以极，不过平心来，假如双方易地而处，自己也会做出同样的选择。
Lin Xuan's face was ashen, but he remained calm. If the situation were reversed, he would have made the same choice.
shù jiù fù ， qǐ bù shì děng yú jiāng xiǎo mìng ér jiāo dào le duì fāng de lǐ ， tiān yōu guǐ shèng kě shì dù jié qī ， chú fēi nǎo dài yǒu wèn tí ， fǒu zé wàn wàn bú huì fàn zhè yàng yú chǔn de cuò wù dì 。
束就缚，岂不是等于将小命儿交到了对方的里，天幽鬼圣可是渡劫期，除非脑袋有问题，否则万万不会犯这样愚蠢的错误地。
Bound and restrained, wasn’t that equivalent to handing his life over to the other party? The Heavenly Obscure Ghost Sage was at the Tribulation Transcending stage; unless one had a problem with their brain, they wouldn't make such a foolish mistake.
xiān tiān líng bǎo yòu rú hé ？
先天灵宝又如何？
What aboutprimordial灵宝?
nǐ de mìng fǎ bǎo ， kě shì luò zài le zì jǐ de lǐ 。
你的命法宝，可是落在了自己的里。
Yourlife-protection treasure artifactwas in my possession. As long as I could refine it...
zhǐ yào néng jiāng qí liàn huà 。
只要能将其炼化。
With his mind's eye tied up, this troublesome fellow would surely suffer severe injuries!
xīn shén qiān chě xià ， zhè nán chán de jiā huo kěn dìng huì shēn shòu zhòng shāng a ！
心神牵扯下，这难缠的家伙肯定会身受重伤啊！
At that time, he might not have the strength to activate that terrifying spiritual treasure.
dào shí hòu ， tā hái yǒu méi yǒu yú lì ， cuī dòng nà kě pà de líng bǎo ， dōu shì wèn tí ， suǒ yǐ ， xiàn zài jiù tán shèng fù ， hái yán zhì guò zǎo le xiē 。
到时候，他还有没有余力，催动那可怕的灵宝，都是问题，所以，现在就谈胜负，还言之过早了些。
Thus, talking about victory or defeat now was too early. If he could eliminate this little guy, wouldn't theprimordial灵宝in front of him also become his?
ruò shì néng jiāng zhè xiǎo jiā huo miè chú ， yǎn qián de xiān tiān líng bǎo ， qǐ bù shì yě chéng le zì jǐ de náng zhōng wù 。
若是能将这小家伙灭除，眼前的先天灵宝，岂不是也成了自己的囊中物。
The Heavenly Obscure Ghost Sage's eyes gleamed with greed as he thought so.
tiān yōu guǐ shèng xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， yǎn zhōng tān lán zhī sè dà qǐ 。
天幽鬼圣想到这里，眼中贪婪之sè大起。
As they say, wealth and honor can be sought in perilous situations; the current situation was indeed unfavorable, but if he won, the rewards would be extremely generous.
sú huà ， fù guì xiǎn zhōng qiú ， yǎn qián de jú miàn ， què shí bù lì ， dàn zhǐ yào yíng le ， huàn huí lái de huí bào ， yě huì shì jí wéi fēng hòu dì 。
俗话，富贵险中求，眼前的局面，确实不利，但只要赢了，换回来的回报，也会是极为丰厚地。
With this in mind, he took a deep breath and exerted all his strength to destroy Lin Xuan's treasure.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， tā shēn shēn hū xī ， gèng shì pīn jìn quán lì ， xiǎng yào jiāng lín xuān de bǎo wù huǐ 。
念及至此，他深深呼吸，更是拼尽全力，想要将林轩的宝物毁。
Knowing that the Yin Cloud Pearl was no trivial matter—any treasure trapped by it would turn into ordinary iron within moments—he had used it before to reverse defeat into victory against stronger opponents. This time, he wouldn't be disappointed.
yào zhī dào nà yīn yún zhū ， kě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rèn nǐ shén me bǎo bèi ， zhǐ yào bèi qí kùn zhù ， yī shí sān kè ， dōu néng huà wèi fán tiě le 。
要知道那yīn云珠，可是非同小可，任你什么宝贝，只要被其困住，一时三刻，都能化为凡铁了。
The corner of the Heavenly Obscure Ghost Sage’s mouth curled with a cold smile as he believed his chances were still considerable.
yǐ qián yù jiàn qiáng dí ， zhè jiàn dōng xī jiù shì tā fǎn bài wéi shèng de lì qì 。
以前遇见强敌，这件东西就是他反败为胜的利器。
However, Lin Xuan's gaze was extremely sharp.
zhè yī cì ， xiǎng bì yě bú huì ràng zì jǐ shī wàng dì 。
这一次，想必也不会让自己失望地。
With his rich experience in combat, he naturally knew what the other party intended.
tiān yōu guǐ shèng de zuǐ jiǎo biān qín zhe yī sī lěng xiào zhī yì ， jué de zì jǐ de shèng suàn ， yīng gāi hái shì bù xiǎo dì 。
天幽鬼圣的嘴角边噙着一丝冷笑之意，觉得自己的胜算，应该还是不小地。
Since he had an idea, Lin Xuan wouldn't let him act freely.
ér lín xuān de mù guāng ， què shì ruì lì yǐ jí 。
而林轩的目光，却是锐利以极。
"Quickly!"
yǐ tā dòu fǎ jīng yàn zhī fēng fù ， duì fāng xīn zhōng de dǎ suàn ， zì rán shì bù nán cāi de 。
以他斗法经验之丰富，对方心中的打算，自然是不难猜的。
Lin Xuan pointed his finger forward. As he did so, a piercing sound filled the air as myriad sword qi surged like a sudden storm towards the opponent.
jì rán xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， lín xuān dāng rán bú huì rèn yóu tā cóng róng shī zhǎn le 。
既然心中有数，林轩当然不会任由他从容施展了。
The attack was swift and fierce, like arrows shot from powerful bows and crossbows.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
The Heavenly Obscure Ghost Sage's expression was extremely ugly, but he showed no fear; panic was impossible.
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， pò kōng shēng dà qǐ ， xuán fú zài shēn cè de wàn qiān jiàn qì 。 dùn shí rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， xiàng zhe duì fāng zǎn shè ér 。
林轩一指向前点，随着他的动作，破空声大起，悬浮在身侧的万千剑气。顿时如疾风骤雨，像着对方攒shè而。
He had already prepared for this when the other party usedprimordialtreasures. Thus, despite his shock, he took a deep breath and flicked his sleeves. Yin wind surged as an old monster released over ten treasures at once.
qí shì xùn jí ， jiù rú tóng qiáng gōng yìng nǔ fā shè de jìn shǐ 。
其势迅疾，就如同强弓硬弩发shè的劲矢。
Some emitted brilliant light, while others spewed dark rays—clearly not ordinary items.
miàn duì zhè yàng de gōng jī ， tiān yōu guǐ shèng de liǎn sè nán kàn wú bǐ ， dàn què méi yǒu bàn fēn wèi jù ， jīng huāng shī cuò gèng shì bù kě néng dì 。
面对这样的攻击，天幽鬼圣的脸sè难看无比，但却没有半分畏惧，惊慌失措更是不可能地。
One of them, about the size of a palm, immediately emitted spiritual light, startling nearby primordial qi. A powerfullaw or principleforce also spread out mysteriously.
dāng duì fāng jì chū xiān tiān zhī wù ， tā jiù yǐ jīng yǒu xīn lǐ zhǔn bèi le 。
当对方祭出先天之物，他就已经有心理准备了。
"Yuanxian item!"
gù ér tā suī jīng bù luàn ， shēn shēn hū xī ， jiù shuāng xiù yī dǒu ， zhǐ jiàn yīn fēng dà zuò 。 zhè lǎo guài wù ， jū rán yì kǒu qì ， fàng chū le shí yú jiàn bǎo wù 。
故而他虽惊不乱，深深呼吸，就双袖一抖，只见yīn风大做。这老怪物，居然一口气，放出了十余件宝物。
Lin Xuan sighed; the power of a Tribulation Transcending old monster was indeed formidable. Each person had some extraordinary treasures in their possession.
huò líng guāng dà zuò 。 huò hēi máng pēn bó ， yī kàn jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
或灵光大做。或黑芒喷薄，一看就非同小可。
These ten items were all defensive in nature and transformed into layers of light screens under his spell, enveloping the Heavenly Obscure Ghost Sage.
qí zhōng yī bā zhǎng dà xiǎo guī ké yàng de dōng xī ， gāng yī jì chū ， jiù líng máng sì shè， lián fù jìn de tiān dì yuán qì 。 dōu bèi tā jīng dòng le ， gèng yǒu yī gǔ páng bó de fǎ zé zhī lì ， guǐ yì de mí sàn ér chū 。
其中一巴掌大小龟壳样的东西，刚一祭出，就灵芒四shè，连附近的天地元气。都被它惊动了，更有一股磅礴的法则之力，诡异的弥散而出。
Defend but do not attack!
“ xuán tiān zhī wù ！”
“玄天之物！”
The other party had made up their mind; they just needed to gain time. As long as he could refine Lin Xuan'sfate or lifetreasure, how could he fail?
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， dù jié qī lǎo guài de shí lì ， guǒ rán bù róng qīng wǔ ， měi gè rén de lǐ 。 dōu yǒu yī xiē bù fán de bǎo wù 。
林轩叹了口气，渡劫期老怪的实力，果然不容轻侮，每个人的里。都有一些不凡的宝物。
His plan was sound.
zhè shí yú jiàn bǎo bèi ， dōu shì fáng yù shǔ xìng de ， bèi tā fǎ jué yī cuī zhī xià 。 huà wèi céng céng guāng mù ， jiāng tiān yōu guǐ shèng ， céng céng bāo guǒ qǐ lái le 。
这十余件宝贝，都是防御属xìng的，被他法诀一催之下。化为层层光幕，将天幽鬼圣，层层包裹起来了。
However, Lin Xuan showed no fear on his face. He took a deep breath and pointed again.
zhǐ shǒu bù gōng ！
只守不攻！
Theimmortalsword diagram’s surface emitted green light, making the sword more formidable.
duì fāng dǎ dìng le zhǔ yì ， mù qián jiù shì zhēng qǔ shí jiān ér yǐ ， zhǐ yào néng jiāng zhè xiǎo jiā huo de mìng bǎo wù liàn huà 。 hái pà bù néng fǎn bài wéi shèng ma ？
对方打定了主意，目前就是争取时间而已，只要能将这小家伙的命宝物炼化。还怕不能反败为胜吗？
Sword Law!
tā de rú yì suàn pán dǎ dé bù cuò 。
他的如意算盘打得不错。
Clanging sounds entered his ears as sharp swordlight collided with the light screen.
rán ér lín xuān liǎn shàng ， yī jiù shì bàn fēn jù yì yě wú 。 shēn shēn hū xī ， zài cì yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn 。
然而林轩脸上，依旧是半分惧意也无。深深呼吸，再次一指向前点。
Like rain beating on banana leaves, ripples first appeared on the surface of the light screen, followed by violent shaking. Soon, it showed signs of strain.
zhǐ jiàn nà xiān jiàn tú biǎo miàn cuì máng dà zuò ， jiàn shì biàn dé yuè fā de líng lì le 。
只见那仙剑图表面翠芒大做，剑势变得越发的凌厉了。
Snap!
jiàn zhī fǎ zé ！
剑之法则！
The sound of shattering reached his ears; the first layer of light screen was breached.
dīng dīng dāng dāng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xī lì de jiàn guāng hěn hěn de zhuàng shàng le guāng mù 。
叮叮当当的声音传入耳朵，犀利的剑光狠狠的撞上了光幕。
The Heavenly Obscure Ghost Sage's face couldn't help showing shock.
rú yǔ dǎ jiāo hé ， guāng mù biǎo miàn xiān shì yǒu yī dào dào bō wén fú xiàn ér chū ， suí hòu biàn chéng jù liè de yáo huàng ， suí hòu mǎ shàng chéng xiàn chū bù zhī de zhuàng tài lái le 。
如雨打蕉荷，光幕表面先是有一道道波纹浮现而出，随后变成剧烈的摇晃，随后马上呈现出不支的状态来了。
He knew Lin Xuan wasn’t easy to deal with; afate or lifetreasure could be extremely sharp.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
But he hadn’t expected it to be so tenacious.
suì liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dì yī céng guāng mù yǐ jīng bèi gōng pò 。
碎裂声传入耳朵，第一层光幕已经被攻破。
His prideful defensive treasure only lasted less than a moment before collapsing.
tiān yōu guǐ shèng de liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de lù chū jīng hài zhī sè。
天幽鬼圣的脸上也不由得露出惊骇之sè。
Damn!
tā zhī dào lín xuān bù hǎo rě ， xiān tiān líng bǎo xī lì dào jí chù 。
他知道林轩不好惹，先天灵宝犀利到极处。
Who would win was still uncertain.
dàn yě bù céng xiǎng ， huì zhè yàng nán chán de 。
但也不曾想，会这样难缠的。
A look of gloom flashed across his face.
zì jǐ yī jiàn yǐn yǐ wéi ào de fáng yù bǎo wù ， qián hòu jǐn jǐn zhī chēng le bú dào yí gè zhào miàn de gōng fu 。
自己一件引以为傲的防御宝物，前后仅仅支撑了不到一个照面的功夫。
After a slight hesitation, he flicked his sleeves and a wooden box flew out.
kě wù ！
可恶！
This small box was about the size of a palm, completely black with severalprohibition restrictions talismansattached to its surface.
zhè yàng xià ， lù sǐ shuí hái zhēn bù hǎo 。
这样下，鹿死谁还真不好。
Lin Xuan couldn't help feeling surprised. This didn’t seem like any treasure; why would the other party use it as a defense?
tā de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī yīn mái zhī yì 。
他的脸上闪过一丝yīn霾之意。
The Ghost Sage sighed, flicking his fingers and sending out a purple flame from them.
lüè yī chí yí ， xiù páo yī fú ， yí gè mù hé fēi lüè ér chū 。
略一迟疑，袖袍一拂，一个木盒飞掠而出。
With a whoosh, the flame hit the wooden box, burning away theprohibition restrictions talismans.
cǐ mù hé bù guò bā zhǎng dà xiǎo ， tōng tǐ zuò qī hēi zhī sè， biǎo miàn hái tiē yǒu jǐ zhāng jìn zhì fú lù 。
此木盒不过巴掌大小，通体做漆黑之sè，表面还贴有几张禁制符箓。
"Snap," the box lid opened, and a black light shot out.
lín xuān liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì ， zhè dōng xī ， kàn shàng ， bìng bù xiàng shén me bǎo wù ， duì fāng zěn me huì ná chū lái yù dí 。
林轩脸上也不由得露出几分诧异，这东西，看上，并不像什么宝物，对方怎么会拿出来御敌。
Then that black light circled briefly before transforming into an imposing ghost figure. Its face was green with sharp teeth, covered in dark, shiny scales longer than his knees, and its nails were sharper than knives.
guǐ shèng tàn le kǒu qì ， qū zhǐ wēi dàn ， cóng tā de zhǐ jiān ， fēi chū yī lǚ zǐ sè de huǒ yàn 。
鬼圣叹了口气，屈指微弹，从他的指尖，飞出一缕紫sè的火焰。
The aura it emitted was terrifying.
hū de yī xià ， zhuàng shàng mù hé ， jiāng nà jìn zhì fú lù rán shāo diào le 。
呼的一下，撞上木盒，将那禁制符箓燃烧掉了。
Tribulation Transcending!
“ pā dā ” yī shēng ， hé gài dǎ kāi ， yī dào wū guāng cóng lǐ miàn fēi shè chū lái 。
“啪嗒”一声，盒盖打开，一道乌光从里面飞shè出来。
However, this ghost wasn’t aentity or physical form; it was just a phantom of a soul.
suí hòu nà wū guāng lüè yī pán xuán ， jū rán huàn huà chū yī shēn cái gāo dà de guǐ wù 。
随后那乌光略一盘旋，居然幻化出一身材高大的鬼物。
As soon as he came out of the box, a fierce expression appeared on his face. He moved swiftly towards the Heavenly Obscure Ghost Sage.
qīng miàn liáo yá ， hún shēn shàng xià ， gèng pī zhe wū hēi fà liàng de lín jiǎ ， zhǎng guò xī ， zhǐ jiǎ bǐ dāo fēng hái yào jiān lì 。
青面獠牙，浑身上下，更披着乌黑发亮的鳞甲，长过膝，指甲比刀锋还要尖利。
This outcome didn't bother the Heavenly Obscure Ghost Sage; he seemed to have anticipated it.
sàn fà chū lái de qì xī gèng shì kě pà yǐ jí 。
散发出来的气息更是可怕以极。
He flicked his sleeves and took out a copper bell-like artifact.
dù jié qī ！
渡劫期！
With a slight flick of his fingers, a hoarse sound spread far away, like the wailing of an evil ghost.
rán ér zhè guǐ wù què bìng bú shì shí tǐ ， jǐn jǐn shì yī hún pò suǒ huà de xū yǐng ér yǐ 。
然而这鬼物却并不是实体，仅仅是一魂魄所化的虚影而已。
The sound fell on Lin Xuan's ears, causing him to frown but then relax. It was just unpleasant; otherwise, there was nothing wrong with it.
yī cóng hé zi lǐ chū lái ， tā de liǎn shàng lì kè fú xiàn chū xiōng hěn zhī sè， shēn xíng yī dòng ， biàn è hěn hěn de xiàng tiān yōu guǐ shèng pū guò le 。
一从盒子里出来，他的脸上立刻浮现出凶狠之sè，身形一动，便恶狠狠的像天幽鬼圣扑过了。
However, the evil ghost covered its head in agony, showing fear instead of its fierce expression.
zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， tiān yōu guǐ shèng yě shì háo bù zài yì ， sì hū zǎo yǒu yù liào de yàng zi 。
这样的结果，天幽鬼圣也是毫不在意，似乎早有预料的样子。
Relieved, the Heavenly Obscure Ghost Sage threw a spiritual fruit. The fruit resembled a pomegranate but was black and emitted strange fragrances, clearly not ordinary.
xiù páo yī shuǎi ， jiù qǔ chū yī tóng zhōng mú yàng de fǎ qì lái 。
袖袍一甩，就取出一铜钟模样的法器来。
The evil ghost was delighted, swallowing the fruit whole, and his face showed submission.
qū zhǐ wēi dàn ， shā yǎ de zhōng shēng biàn bàn suí zhe yīn bō yuǎn yuǎn chuán kāi ， fǎng fú è guǐ tòng kū yì bān 。
屈指微弹，沙哑的钟声便伴随着音波远远传开，仿佛恶鬼恸哭一般。
"Eliminate that boy for me."
nà zhōng shēng luò zài ěr lǐ ， lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， suí jí shū zhǎn kāi ， duì tā ér yán ， zhǐ shì yǒu xiē nán tīng bà le ， chú cǐ yǐ wài ， bìng wèi rèn hé bù tuǒ 。
那钟声落在耳里，林轩眉头一皱，随即舒展开，对他而言，只是有些难听罢了，除此以外，并未任何不妥。
The Heavenly Obscure Ghost Sage pointed at Lin Xuan with a finger; the evil ghost immediately revealed its ferocity and lunged at Lin Xuan.
rán ér nà è guǐ què yǐ bào tóu ， lù chū jí wéi tòng kǔ de shén sè， yǎn zhōng de xiōng lì yě xiāo shī le ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì jǐ fēn wèi jù zhī sè。
然而那恶鬼却以抱头，露出极为痛苦的神sè，眼中的凶厉也消失了，取而代之的是几分畏惧之sè。
"What is this—controllingfierce or terrifyingghosts? It's surprising to see someone can control ghosts at the Tribulation Transcending stage."
tiān yōu guǐ shèng què shì sōng le kǒu qì ， bù guò kàn tā de biǎo qíng què shì yì diǎn yě bù qīng sōng de 。
天幽鬼圣却是松了口气，不过看他的表情却是一点也不轻松的。
Lin Xuan muttered, understanding that the other party was trying to distract him to gain time to refine hisfate or lifetreasure.
suí pāo chū yī méi líng guǒ ， nà guǒ zi yī yǎn wàng yǔ pán táo yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù ， bù guò què yě shì hēi sè， biǎo miàn yǒu zhèn zhèn yì xiāng sàn fà ér chū ， yī kàn jiù bú shì fán wù 。
随抛出一枚灵果，那果子一眼望与蟠桃有几分相似之处，不过却也是黑sè，表面有阵阵异香散发而出，一看就不是凡物。
But knowing it mattered little; he couldn't ignore such a terrifying ghost.
nà è guǐ dà xǐ ， yī kǒu jiāng líng guǒ tūn fú jìn ， liǎn shàng yě jiù yǒu le jǐ fēn xùn fú zhī yì 。
那恶鬼大喜，一口将灵果吞服进，脸上也就有了几分驯服之意。
Lin Xuan sighed and sent out a divine consciousness. The sword qi surged towards thefierce or terrifyingghost.
“， jiāng nà xiǎo zi gěi wǒ miè chú 。”
“，将那小子给我灭除。”
The remaining didn’t hesitate, continuing to break through the light screen. Since he understood the other party's intentions, Lin Xuan wouldn’t let them succeed.
tiān yōu guǐ shèng yī zhǐ chōng lín xuān diǎn chū ， nà è guǐ lì kè xiōng xiàng bì lù ， è hěn hěn de xiàng lín xuān pū guò lái le 。
天幽鬼圣一指冲林轩点出，那恶鬼立刻凶相毕露，恶狠狠的像林轩扑过来了。
A sound of piercing laughter entered his ears as another layer of light screen shattered like a water bubble.
“ zhè shì shén me ， yù guǐ shù ， bù guò néng jià yù dù jié jí bié de lì guǐ ， yě zhe shí ràng rén yǒu xiē chà yì le 。”
“这是什么，驭鬼术，不过能驾驭渡劫级别的厉鬼，也着实让人有些诧异了。”
PS: I updated late today but won't disappoint with my promised third update. This is the first one; please vote for recommendation tickets!
lín xuān xīn zhōng dí gū ， tā míng bái duì fāng zhè me zuò ， shì wèi le fēn sàn zì jǐ de zhù yì ， yǐ zhēng qǔ shí jiān ， liàn huà zì jǐ de mìng bǎo wù 。
林轩心中嘀咕，他明白对方这么做，是为了分散自己的注意，以争取时间，炼化自己的命宝物。
Special Recommendation:
Lin Xuan's face was ashen, but he remained calm. If the situation were reversed, he would have made the same choice.
Bound and restrained, wasn’t that equivalent to handing his life over to the other party? The Heavenly Obscure Ghost Sage was at the Tribulation Transcending stage; unless one had a problem with their brain, they wouldn't make such a foolish mistake.
What aboutprimordial灵宝?
Yourlife-protection treasure artifactwas in my possession. As long as I could refine it...

Lin Xuan sighed; the power of a Tribulation Transcending old monster was indeed formidable. Each person had some extraordinary treasures in their possession.

Defend but do not attack!

His plan was sound.
However, Lin Xuan showed no fear on his face. He took a deep breath and pointed again.

Sword Law!
Clanging sounds entered his ears as sharp swordlight collided with the light screen.
